Main Characteristics of UCM

The main characteristics of UCM can be summarized as follows:

• There is no chip formation.
• No residual stress set-up in work materials.
• There is no mechanical contact of tool and work materials.
• Tools wear is lesser compared to conventional process.
• Tool need not to be harder than work material.
• Better surface finish and close tolerance may be achieved.
• Intricate shape, very hard, and fragile materials can be machined.
